Not officially gone yet and still plenty of it on sale ... it really was only rumored so no hard facts on this just yet and may take a while to happen if it does. Similar rumor for the 18year old but again still widely available. So probably partially guess work due to various conversations had with IDL people.

I reckon it will be widely reported here if it does happen officially.

The 12 year old was discontinued some time ago and almost unavailable in Irish retail outlets - to my knowledge there is none left in Dunnes or Tesco, with maybe a bottle here and there in the odd SuperValu or Centra, Eurospar or Londis Plus. Last I heard Fine Wines in Limerick were charging €120 a bottle for their last few bottles, and Ally in the CWS was asking €200!

The 18 year old is still widely available. It was to be discontinued also but it got a 'reprieve'. I'd expect it to disappear from retail in the next 18 months. It is about €132 these days I think.

Gold is also discontinued but is still available in a few Tesco stores, and in a good few retail outlets, for around €87.
